In this episode of Naledi’s Daily Rant, Naledi Moleo unpacks the mechanics of accountability and why they keep breaking down when the stakes are highest. Against the backdrop of a deepening SAPS crisis and the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, she interrogates the “accountability ceiling” that often protects senior offices from direct scrutiny.
The episode examines the tension between political intervention and public oversight: when the Presidency steps in to address crises, what does transparent reporting to Parliament look like, and why does it matter? Naledi also questions the comfort of closed-door processes, arguing that private explanations without public accountability have contributed to a widening trust deficit.
This is a demanding, clarity-first conversation about leadership, institutional credibility, and the consequences of governance that feels neat on paper but chaotic in real life. It does not ask for reassurance. It asks for answers, and for a public standard that applies all the way to the top.
